Asteroid (183294) Langbroek

In August of 2008, the Committee on Small Body Nomenclature of the International Astronomical Union (IAU) announced that asteroid number (183294), also known by its provisional designation 2002 TB382, would henceforth be officially named:

(183294) Langbroek

The suggestion to do so came from the discoverers of the object: Stefan Kürti (who found it in NEAT archive imagery) and the NEAT program. It is an honour that I cherish.

Marco Langbroek (b. 1970) is a Dutch archaeologist and amateur
